Scratch repair for the 1985 Audi 5000: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Size and finish
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Stay on the road
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How long you are without it
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Aftercare
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
